Quote from: The Gold TrumpetI usually don't care much for list threads but done hate them as much as P, but this thread takes the cake of just bad "list" threads. I can give praise to actors and all, but I wouldn't know where to begin on ranking them in any top 5 list at all. And really if I did, it'd be for actresses only and on scale of who was hottest.

It's just current man, not ALL TIME. I can't do that stuff either. I was just having people list some actors they've been into LATELY, actors they've discovered recently or whatever. It was just for people like me that have changing and evolving favorites. There are people (like you maybe) that are pretty set in their favorites and would hate this thread and that's fine, just ignore it. There's no need to post just to badmouth it, that doesn't do anything, especially so long after I posted it, this thread is really old. Anyways, Meatball said it best - this is not something to think hard about or have you do hours of narrowing down, it's just whoever's in heavy rotation, you know? Like, my favorites that I posted here awhile ago have changed a little now. I still love those actors a lot but there's other stuff I'm into, I'll come back to them later like I always do. Same thing with filmmaker's - I'll come back to PTA when he gets started on his next movie but right now I'm into Tim Burton with Big Fish.
